In F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, evaluate dreams and illusions.

The
concept of dreams and illusions is important in 's .


Perhaps the greatest problem in the novel is Gatsby's inability to separate his dream
true love withwith the reality that she is, before everything else, still married to with a
child. The true love he believes they share is an illusion. Daisy indicates
her difficulty with the pressure Gatsby places on her in terms of what he wants from
her.

Oh, you want too much! she cried to Gatsby. I
love you nowisnt that enough? I cant help whats past. She began to sob helplessly. I did love
him oncebut I loved you too. 

Gatsbys eyes opened and closed.


You loved me too? he repeated.


This reflects the appearance vs. reality . Gatsby cannot believe that Daisy loves Tom
too. For he can only see what he wants. This is
illusion. 

Gatsby also...
